I have always purchased Cuisinart kitchen appliances and already have a Cuisinart food processor and it still works great, but decided recently to upgrade to this newer model for a more powerful motor and larger work bowl. This does not disappoint — it’s beautiful to look at on my counter and quickly processes everything you put in (including hard carrots) quickly. And I only have to empty the bowl once! A winner!
My first food processor, so I had a pretty high learning curve. I couldn't find any good videos on how to use it. The top was on pretty tight. I wasn't sure how to get it open so I finally settled on brute force and sure enough, it opened. I used it the first time to chop my dogs chicken. I put it into the bowl and pulsed it a few times. It was mush. Not what I wanted. she ate it without complaint. Yes, a few helpful videos would be nice.
Had my first one 34 years and it saw me through many meals, holidays, and gatherings. Completely trustworthy to it’s end. As expected my new one is engineered even better with slight but smart changes that make using it even easier. I love the new inner stacking design to better store the blades for safety and cleanliness.
Your food processor is ok so far. It took me awhile to figure out how to turn it on and the directions, are horrible. it worked like my small one. I have not used the metal disks yet, and again the directions are horrible. otherwise so far so good
